It works! Just used it 20 min ago.
Procedure:
Sign up/register (Don't select or use any discount codes when you sign up)
Select the 2 x 5 meal plan (original box or veg)
Type in your details, delivery details, payment details etc and use the code: FBODRSD
The code will turn your $110 order into $1
Once paid and processed, go ahead and cancel the subscription
Extra Hack: Apparently you can use the same CC details on a new account (ie different email address) and it will work!
$115-$125 off First Box, $20 off 2nd & $10/$20 3rd Box + $9.99 Delivery for Referees, $50-$60 Credit for Referrer.
100% chance it'll get cancelled once OzBargained
Very likely. The thing is, when such a deal is made to a few customers then it wouldn't cost the company anything. But when it's posted on OzBargain and thousands of OzBargainers try to take advantage of it they will be forced to cancel it as that will be a big financial loss. Now no one will take advantage of it.
Apparently they blocked prepaid credit cards a few weeks ago
used coles prepaid master and $1 is charged for Auth
worked for me!
thanks doubt they honor it
Came up $0 for me.
Thanks!!!!
The $1 is a PayPal charge I believe, $0 by credit card. Worth a shot!
but no email confrimation letter?
I was charged $9.95 for delivery? shrug
Yeah, if you're not in their free delivery areas, the delivery fee is charged regardless of coupon value.
It's a still a good deal if it's honoured!
Notice clicking on send invoice in order history gives an error
I did notice this too, will the bargain be honoured I wonder….
I get an error on my account when I pay full price. It seems that the invoices just don’t work
Are we cancelling the plan immediately or after receiving first delivery?
I usually do it straight after delivery just in case. Although I did cancel for a friend before it was delivered and I got the message ‘your last delivery will be 10/11/2018’ made up date but you get the point haha
Skip the next week or two in the calendar if you don't want to cancel right away.
Guys don't bully them they are a good store.
a good store would have had a better IT system to control such vouchers
We are good people too, we are helping them to build better website by exposing some issues.
Give that junior admin a chance..
RIP
this is how aussie farmers went into bankruptcy lolll from all those ozbargain deals of free boxes.
Still have cooler bags from when I was getting $50 of stuff from them for free all the time. Ah, those were the days.
Pretty sure they were doing it tough and trying to get more people on board with the codes though.
For those who ordered before, what do you recommend that's good?
Tried them a couple of times previously, and wasn't sufficiently impressed to continue. The menus didn't inspire us, but they now advertise that they have improved their menu options recently, but we haven't validated that.
My main concern was with the 'food miles'; everything was shipped to Melb from Sydney. A lot of people won't be bothered with that, but I am very fortunate with lots of local produce available nearby.
can i use shopback or cashrewards with this?
Gave it a go - worst they can do is cancel right?
Free for me!
BTW, this code is for $139.95 discount. You can select a Family plan 4 x 4 to get the most value out if it.
!!!!!
Yeah I ordered this and it came to $0
I did the Family plan 4 x 4 and it ending up being $15 for me. RIP
The classic plan 4 x 4 was $15 for me, are you sure you selected family plan?
Thanks - Ordered!
Thanks OP!
Tried my luck too…
Crossing fingers!
Worked, it was free for me.
Cancel the recurring payments on PayPals end, so when they go to charge you it will bounce. Instead of signing up and instantly cancelling, or trying to remember a certain day to cancel by.
Decided I'll pay a bit more and ordered the family meal plan for 19.85 AUD
Order went through but still no confirmation email from Hellofresh.
I did the same thing and it ended up being $15. So if we don't end up getting the meal will we still get refunded?
Paid $0. Good luck to us all.
Thanks Op - worked! hope it doesn't get cancelled.
im not really sure what ive done here did i just get dinner for two weeks for free?
It said done but not yet receive any email, after 10 minutes now
Ha I just read the comments from last year…fingers crossed to be one of the few who gets their box!
what is the cutoff for cancellation to ensure we don't get charged?
You can skip a few weeks in their calendar if you want to wait for the delivery before cancelling, but I believe they charge Tues the previous week of your order.
Do I cancel after first delivery?
Yes, you need to cancel before Tuesday EST
Can you cancel immediately after purchasing and get all the meals delivered?
Worked for me for free. Thanks OP!
Worked… hopefully they honour it lol
Thanks. Meals from now till Christmas sorted
Seems like no one got any confirmation email yet?
ye got confrimation immediately
same here, no email confirmation yet
I got given this referral code 2 weeks ago for this same thing, 5 meals for 2 people delivered for $0.
It arrived no issues but as OP said don't forget to cancel the subscription, it defaults to a weekly subscription.
Once ordered, i changed it to a once a month subscription and after it delivered I cancelled as it wasn't what i was expecting.
Where do you go to change to monthly subscription?
Account settings, then 'plan setting' i think, the options in my account look different now that i've cancelled.
And a correction, it did cost me $1
do i wait for my 2 weeks delivered before i cancel? or do i cancel now?
I believe some people have had no issues cancelling straight away, because it does still display a confirmed final delivery date. I just changed it to a once a month delivery after ordering because i wanted to try the service before cancelling it. Had no issues cancelling after it arrived and i haven't been billed for the next delivery.
The site tells you (can't remember where) when your next order has to be processed, ensure you cancel before then, if you don't want to continue.
Ordered, now let the waiting game begin.
how come i couldn't select which recipes until after the order went through? and then its additional 23.80 to change recipes….
the whole thing is bizarre
i agree. the whole thing went thru without me knowing what really happened.
This sums up a lot of my weekends when I was younger.
The additional 23.80 is because some recipes are considered "Gourmet" and/or just special and as such charges slightly more each week hence the additional charge. You can see the additional costs in the bottom right in green text for each recipe box above the download button.
okay thanks. so we don't get to choose recipes otherwise?
You get some choice, I think like 2~3 are additional cost but the rest are normal so you can choose from them I believe.
I really doubt they will honour this
Apparently they don’t deliver to me on the Gold Coast
All good fixed it now
"You can pause/unpause a week from 'Deliveries Calendar'. Canceling your meal plan will pause your deliveries indefinitely."
Doesn't this mean it will void it?
Thanks I ordered it. SO I have to cancel it before next Tuesday after the first delivery. right? But To be safe, I cancelled automatic Payments in Paypay.
FYI I cancelled immedaitely and got a notice that the last delivery will be 21st November so it'll still come through
nice however there will be too many orders
1600 clicks in 40mins…Have a bad feeling about this haha but thanks OP, just ordered
That's like $200,000 worth of stock. Oh OzBargain…
Thanks OP. Ordered for Free using CC. Gotta wait and see if they honor it.
Do you guys deliver to your home or work?
If no one is at home what happens?
it's covered in your order
It is well packed with ice packs etc so it stays cool.
Hmm - I can't use the same credit card after 2 orders.
Ozbargained?
Actually not accepting any cards … guess it's dead
I just placed an order - Paypal though
Remember youfoodz and the "leaked" block coupon code from last year?
LOL I was so fired up I even ordered free meals for relatives living interstate!
What's the 2 x 5 plan?
Couldn't see it myself so I just went to Plans and selected the 2 person 3 times a week plan. No idea if I shortchanged myself or what but that's good enough for considering the regular price appeared to be about $70 before shipping
/edit/ I picked vegetarian meals
2 people 5 meals.
P.S. I was not able to see any such option for vegetarian meals.
I could only get it to work on Chrome on my phone, wouldn't work any other way but luckily I finally did it!
I just ordered it.. it came to $9.95 for delivery using Paypal.
Then I cancel the active plan immediately so do they deliver the 2x5 meals that I just ordered and paid for delivery?
I looked into my account and it said Your account is deactivated and no delivery… so do I reactivate?
Let them do the delivery first before I cancel the subscription?
It would most likely not honour them, but having to deal with thousands of order cancellations would teach them a lesson about bait&switch and having a crappy IT system
This is not the first time. They've been doing it for a while now.
I put an order through, came to $1
Spoke to an agent to confirm that I'll get my first week if I cancel the plan. Which he did confirm
Tried to send my self the invoice but the API responses wit
{error_code: null, message: "Voucher not found in abilita"}
error_code: null
message: "Voucher not found in abilita"
Anyone got email confirmation yet? If so, how long it took for you to get email?
Got mine straight after
I would have waited for a shipping confirmation before posting.
